I received a call yesterday from a VitaTree customer who said her husband was taking the VitaMen’s formula for just a week. He couldn’t believe the difference he was noticing in his urination habits. Already he had a great improvement in the force of his urine stream and he wasn’t waking up at night anymore to go to the washroom. He was diagnosed with enlarged prostate 2 years ago and his doctor suggested he try the pharmaceutical drug for BPH. This gentleman was aware of the negative side effects of the drug, especially the impotence scared him! The bonus with VitaMen’s formula is that it is specially formulated to increase the libido.

Ragweed season is around the corner and for those of you who suffer with ragweed allergies, you are dreading this time of year. Fortunately, nature provides some great effective solutions for allergy sufferers.
Vitamin C is a natural anti-histamine. Be sure to consume plenty of fruits and vegetables that contain Vitamin C in the summer months. Taking a whole food multivitamin high in anti-oxidants may also help with allergy symptoms, as well as a high quality, pure fish oil like VitaFish Oil. Fish oil is a natural anti-inflammatory and slows down the allergic response.
You should also consider a detox at this time of year. Built up toxicity is a cause for allergic reactions as well.

Leaky gut syndrome describes the formation of small openings in the intestinal wall that allow undigested food particles to pass through the openings and into the bloodstream. One of the most common culprits for this condition is Helicobacter pylori. These bacteria cause stomach ulcers and bore into tissues. Once in the bloodstream, the food particles act as foreign invaders or toxins to the immune system. Leaky gut syndrome can lead to any of the following symptoms; headaches, IBS, gas, bloating, Crohn’s disease, colitis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, urinary tract infections, herpes, yeast infections, allergies, asthma, sinusitis, ear infections, arthritis and cancer.
Thankfully, nature has provided natural solutions for healing a leaky gut. This includes human probiotics and gentle detoxification. See VitaTree Probiotics and VitaDetox for more information at www.vitatree.ca.

To maintain a healthy prostate gland, men need to ensure their diet and supplements contain a few key ingredients. The first is zinc. Pumpkin seeds are a whole food source of zinc, an important co-factor decreasing the incidence of prostate enlargement. Pumpkin seeds help regulate urination and maintain the fluid balance in men. Studies have shown that pumpkin seeds contain phytosterols which are responsible for the shrinking of the enlarged prostate gland, and also contain chemicals which halt the conversion of hormone testosterone into the bad testosterone, DHT.
Saw Palmetto is an important herb and is used mainly to prevent benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), enlargement of the prostate gland in men. The plant sterols in Saw palmetto especially beta sitosterol acts to inhibit the growth of the prostate gland by interfering with the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which encourages the production of the bad testosterone, DHT, linked to prostate disease and hair loss in men.

VitaMen’s Formula from VitaTree Nutritionals contains both these ingredients, as well as Maca for libido and stamina and Nettle for the prostate. For more info visit www.vitatree.ca.

The most common complaint I hear in my naturopathic practise is lack of energy and fatigue. We no longer get all the vital nutrients and energy enhancing phytonutrients from our food. Our food has often travelled long distances to reach our plates, and often needs to be picked before it has reached it’s peak ripeness and nutrient density. Often produce is gassed in the supermarket to make it appear ripe for eating. Then we wonder why we don’t feel vital and alive even if we are eating “healthy” food.

The answer is supplementing with high quality whole food vitamins like VitaFruits and VitaVeggies from VitaTree Nutritionals. In this concentrated form, you get all your essential vitamins and minerals in an easy to take capsule. For more info visit www.vitatree.ca.

Probiotics, or good bacteria are a natural and safe way to treat yeast and bladder infections. Often a lack of good bacteria causes a imbalance in the flora of the vaginal tract. This imbalance can harbour plenty of bad bacteria and yeast, leading to chronic yeast infections and urinary tract infections (UTI’s). The natural solution is supplementing orally, a human microflora, like VitaTree Nutritionals Probiotics, daily. This can be a treatment, but also a preventative measure. Take 2 capsules per day as a prevention, and up to 4 capsules per day, with food, during and infection. You can also insert the capsules vaginally for a more local effect. Insert 2 capsules at bedtime.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS is a common and uncomfortable condition for many. The symptoms of IBS include irregular bowel movements, often oscillating between constipation and diarrhea. Stress plays a big role in IBS. Also, a deficiency in good gut bacteria can be a cause for IBS. Be sure to supplement daily with a high quality human microflora for the best defense against IBS.

With the recent recall on Tylenol and Motrin products for children and infants, it makes you wonder how safe these products really are, whether for children or adults. I have cautioned my patients for years against using these products because they often mask and slow down the body’s natural healing process. For instance a fever is a healthy response to fighting an infection in the body. If the fever is suppressed with a medicine like Tylenol or Motrin, the body takes longer to fight off the offending bacteria or virus. There are also toxicity issues for the liver and kidneys with using these common over the counter pain killers. There are better, safer natural alternative. Use fish oils as a natural anti-inflammatory for pain and inflammation. Probiotics (good bacteria) are the best preventative medicine for infections as they ward off bad bacteria by crowding them out of the system.

I’m often asked by many women why, if there are so many wonderful, effective natural remedies for menopause, their doctors are not telling them. The truth is, most doctors don’t even know about them. If they do know, they are skeptical that the herbs have not been tested thoroughly. Again, another misconception as many of the herbs for menopause have been tested in human studies for years in Europe. Herbs such as Chasteberry and Black Cohosh have a long, positive track record. They can help with hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, insomnia, and vaginal dryness. See my formula VitaWomen’s Formula from VitaTree Nutritionals as a natural solution for menopause.
